return/high wind issues

[Meta4]

Still not worked out why DJI don't provide a RTH option to automatically engage sport mode/allow more pitch if it detects its struggling.
Especially in the event of a loss of signal RTH where user cant take over.

DJI did include this in a firmware update for the original Mini (DJI's slowest drone).
It might also work for other models but they haven't advertised that.

The Mini 3 resists wind at 10.7 m/s per the Mini 3 specs. That's currently better than all other DJI consumer drones.

Your specs for the Mavic 3 say otherwise.

Pitch is definitely a big part of the issue.

The Mini-1s have a reputation for being useless in any wind. When I bought mine (used) that was most definitely not the case! It wasn't Mini-2 good, but it was entirely respectable. And I have the vids to prove it!

Apparently, there was a firmware fix that allowed for a greater pitch angle, and that was transformational for improving the wind resistance of the Mini-1.

I have to agree with that, I have taken it up in some winds I thought I maybe shouldn't have but it has held it's own, but have never sent it a long distance in those conditions. I have found if the wind is strong enough Litchi will struggle to complete a 360 panorama. Was that pitch change implemented for just RTH or all modes?

I think the FPV has a wind resistance of 58 mph

Showoff!

Here's some very challenging conditions for the Mini 3
